John Franke, the special prosecutor who is handling the inquest of the case, filed paperwork stating that he may consider presenting the court with reckless homicide charges against police officers involved.

Attorney Robin Shellow, who represents Williams' mother, said inquests in the past have asked juries to determine whether police acted improperly in a case.

Franke's paperwork leads Shellow to believe this jury may have more options than just a "Yes or No" ruling.

"I hope that, finally, that officers will be held accountable for their incredibly felonious action toward citizens of color in this city," Shellow said.

Police Chief Ed Flynn has told WISN 12 News in the past that his department is cooperating with the investigation. Flynn could not be reached for comment following Franke's filing.
